The map printed was a blatant lie! The "VIP's apparently paid a lot for special privileges mostly ended up staying in the Polo grounds building meeting the guests of honor and enjoying catered food. All well and good because hopefully most of the money went to the Veterans Organizations. Just upset we were misled!

Where was this advertised...the paper? Could be that that is what both The Villages and the press was furnished for the seating. Where were the tickets purchased? Could be that The Villages was not involved at all other than renting space for the event.

I know that other venues can rent the Polo Field. We were there at a customer appreciation party on Saturday night hosted by our former Villages Sales rep and he said that he had it for 5 hours (5-10 p.m.). We bought our lot and built in 2003.
